If you were mailed a copy of the motion, it sounds very much like it is an "information copy." (i.e.; You are being advised of what the motion to the judge will contain).
The Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is asking the court to rule on all pleadings that have been filed in the case. This happens if one of the defendants has filed an response or answer. The Plaintiff will usually ask for judgment when filing a motion for summary judgment.
Some people will maby get pissed!!
No. The judgment has been entered and stands. But your landlord can report to the courts that the judgment has been satisfied which will take it off the open books.ANOTHER VIEW: If YOU are the landlord, you can file a motion with the court to 'vacate the finding' in order to nullify it.
motion to accelerate
Yes, it happens all of the time, it is called a default judgment. If this has happened to you, call the clerk of the court in your area and ask the procedures and SOL for filing a motion to vacate the judgment due to an error in service.
If your not a State or Federal Agency, then you would need to file a lawsuit, win a judgment, and file a Motion for Garnishment with the courts, and typically you must know the information of what you are seeking to garnish.
File a motion to vacate based on that fact. After the judgment is entered there is a SOL for filing that motion.
This is likely to occur when a judge grants a motion for summary judgment. The motion asserts that there is no justiciable issue of material fact for the finder of fact (judge or jury) to decide, and that the party filing the motion is entitled to judgment "as a matter of law". Typically, the case has progressed to some degree when a motion for summary judgment is filed and the motion is based upon facts that have been disclosed during the "discovery" process. That is the part of the case when the parties ask questions of each other, request the production of relevant documents, take depositions, etc. Courts hesitate to grant such motions except in the clearest of cases. In the event of a close call, most courts deny the motion and permit the case to go to trial. This outcome may also occur when the court grants a motion for judgment on the pleadings. These motions are determined based primarily upon the pleadings filed by the Plaintiff and the Defendant; respectively, the complaint and the answer. The motion is granted when the complaint does not state a cause of action upon which relief may be granted.
I have found that when this is granted, the other party may file objection to, request to readdress, or appeal the judgement.
A judgment as a matter of law under Rule 50 occurs during the trial. a summary judgment motion, by contract, muts be made before the trial commences, and is governed by Rule 56.
A motion for reverse judgment is when a judge sets aside the ruling as if never there. The case would have to be first be appealed in the same court.
A motion for final judgment is a motion filed with the court that asks for judgment on the case without a trial. The judge presiding over the case has the power to grant a motion for final judgment.
